Demonstrating against the astrocities committed by the Israeli government and the IDF does not make you a Hamas supporter. These actions by Trump, Rubio and ICE are illegal and should not be tolerated by Americans. They should also be condemned by the UN and Human Rights Organizations. Stand with Mahmoud Khalil.

The fatal reality is that there is, and probably never was, an Honorable United States of America. May other democracies learn from our inhumanity, and hubris...don't make the same mistakes. God's Humanity is in human hands. I believe He's disappointed: end the Bronze Age Mythology of Religious Genocide. End Trump’s power base.

Whatever the US is becoming now as a client State of Israel, Columbia affiliates Shai Davidai and David Lederer, Betar and other Jewish supporters of Genocide must understand that they did come this time for the Palestinian, guess what they will not stop there, next in line would be these idiots who do not see history repeating itself.

Earlier this morning I called my reps and senators plus M Johnson and Thune about this illegal arrest, without a warrant and disappearing Khalil possibly in Louisiana. Green card holders have 1st amendment rights that are being violated. This is the weaponization of our rights. Next, they will go after journalists. Disband ICE as it is being used as a rogue military. Yell at your reps and senators asap!

Falling Space X debris... my favorite day dream. Are all his children, technically by definition, bastards.... Wonder if Mike Johnson condones that lifestyle? What if Johnson's pristine daughter marries a Musk? Celebration 🍾 ? Really?

Its white collar crime.

It cannot be seen in any other way than that the US has become an overtly terrorist state.

Has become???? Always has been a terrorist colonial state

Hubris. Let's see if we can eliminate that failure when we correct our Constitution... assuming we have that opportunity.

Been like this since the founding and deceptions of we are the good guys since then if we have not changed in hundreds of years not sure that will happen specially when people in power and their supporters don't want it to happen explicitly

The US has always been an overtly terrorist state. Think about the Genocide of the Native Americans that has occurred since the founding of the country. Consider the 1953 overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh for the crime of reclaiming Iran's oil for the Iranian people. The puppet the US installed, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, terrorized the Iranian people with US trained police for 25 years. The sanctions against Cuba for the last 65 years is yet another example of overt US terrorism. The list of crimes against humanity by the US is extremely long and sordid.

This is just horrible. Criticizing Israel’s actions should not automatically make a person pro Hamas or anti-Semitic. Sorry but I think we are still just at the beginning of this nightmare.

Yup! Why did he call Gen Milley a traitor… because he wouldn't let him use the military against protestors! Unfortunately, we are only at the beginning!

I have called my representative and will continue to make noise. None of us are safe if one person is in harms way. Speak out!

This is absolutely horrifying. I feel sick. The US is becoming a hell. Every day, more and more their behaviour apes Israel's.

Free speech for everyone unless you oppose the genocide that is happening in Gaza or you support the right of self-determination for Palestinians. If you do, Trumpy, Rubio and others label you « terrorists » or « pro-Hamas » or « antisemitic ». Freaking disgusting.

Terror is truly descending on the US. I studied in the US myself as an international student and have enjoyed many holidays there but can’t see myself ever going back given the decent into fascism.

It sounds more like the Felons Secretary of State, Rubio, is following instructions from the Felon or musk.

This sounds more like an Extraordinary Rendition!!!

Guantanamo Bay all over again

I am outraged by this, and I called and wrote to both of my Senators - Padilla and Schiff - asking them to take immediate action to rein in ICE. I also posted on social media, what an outrage this is. I urge others to do the same.

Beware of fascist Zionism. We are all at risk of becoming hostages of this ideology if we don't raise our collective voices to save our freedom of speech.

Cindy Wiggins's avatar

This is disgraceful. The odious Trump immigration policy is on the brink of bringing the conflict between Israel and Palestine to the shores of America. This is disgraceful.

Sarah Olson's avatar

I never thought I’d see the day when protesting against the brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of babies would be considered anti Semitic. Especially since they are arresting actual Semites for speaking against these atrocities. What a backwards world!

Shocking and Disgusting! Free Speech and right to protest freely in the USA are now confined to history
